Abstract: The gene of psychrophilic catalase BNC from Antarctic Bacillus sp. N2a was cloned by degenerate PCR and inverse PCR. BNC gene revealed a 1,461 bp open reading frame for a protein with 486 amino acids. The phylogenetic tree based on the amino acid sequences of BNC and representative psychrophilic microbial catalases manifested that BNC belonged to the Group III of the monofunctional catalase. The active-site residues of the structure-determined catalase were highly conserved in BNC. Comparison of the amino acid comp…

Abstract: The complete genome of the foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) strain WFL was cloned and sequenced. The results showed that the complete genome was 8155 nucleotides (nt) in length (including the poly(C) tract, but excluding poly(A) tail) and was composed of a 1059-nt 5'-untranslated region (UTR), a 6969-nt open reading frame, and a 127-nt 3'- UTR. cre region of 5’UTR was 55nt with 45.5% of G/C, and had a stem-loop. The stem -loops region of 3’UTR can fold into two stem -loops, SL1 and SL2. A phylogenetic tree was c…
